Triton setup for 8 cells 1000 mAh - Please help :)

I have Triton charger and I was wondering if someone can help me with
the settings for my battery pack. I have a NiMH 8 cells 1000 mAh pack.
I made the battery packs after I bought the cells over the internet
(1.2v 1000 mAh per cell).

The baterry pack doesn't last more than 4 to 5 minutes and after a full
charge the display indicates an average of 640 mHA

I used solder wick to make the connections between the cells. Do you
think this might be a problem?


I am using this pack to fly a hornet heli.

My current settings are:

Safety Timer: 960 minutes
Peak Delay Start: 5 minutes
Delay Between Chg/Dsch: 10 minutes
Peak Sensitivity: 5mV/Cell
NiMH max charge input: 1000mAh
Top-off charge rate: 1000mAh

NiMH charge: 0.5A
NiMH discharge: 0.2A 7.2V

NiMH Chg to Discharge: 0.5A / 0.2A
NiMH Discharge to Chg: 0.2A / 0.5A

Memory: 01
Number of Cells: 8 cell
Battery Capacity: 1000mAh
Charge current: 0.5A
Discharge current: 0.2A
Dsch Volt/Cell: 0.9V/Cell


Thanks in advance for your time.
